Mount Lindesay Beaudesert Strategic Transport Network Investigation
Through the Mount Lindesay/Beaudesert Strategic Transport Network Investigation we have explored the transport needs for the Mount Lindesay Beaudesert region for the future.
We are preserving the Park Ridge Connector, a future transport corridor to connect communities planned at Park Ridge, Flagstone and Yarrabilba to services and employment.
The Park Ridge Connector will:
Future growth in the region will see large new urban communities, enterprise precincts and major activity centres established at Park Ridge, Yarrabilba, Flagstone and Bromelton. This development will increase pressure on the transport network and will require new road, rail and bus networks.
The future Park Ridge Connector is one of the responses to meet the challenge of this increasing transport demand.
It is important to preserve the corridor now, even though a new road will not be required for 20 years or more, so that future development can be planned around it, particularly in the Park Ridge development area.
Planning Partnership
We are working with the Logan City Council in partnership to achieve a coordinated planning approach for the area and its future transport corridor. We will integrate state government strategic transport planning with local government transport and land use planning. Through working together the state and council will be able to improve the future access and connectivity of the Logan Motorway, Mount Lindesay Highway, Browns Plains Road and other strategic road links.
A Community Stakeholder Reference Group was established at the start of the Park Ridge Connector study. The members represented community interests from a business, social and environmental perspective, ensuring a balance and diverse range of views across the area of interest.
The group played a key role in identifying core community values, which have assisted the department and Logan City Council to identify a possible location for the Park Ridge Connector.
We undertook consultation to gather feedback from the community about the proposed location of the preserved corridor.
From August to September 2012, we engaged with the full range of stakeholders, including affected property owners, community members and local businesses and included community information sessions, static displays and a telephone survey. Feedback gathered during the consultation period informed the decision to preserve a corridor for the Park Ridge Connector.

As part of our planning for the corridor, we undertook the Park Ridge Connector Corridor Preservation Study. Through the study we were able to identify and preserve land for a future transport corridor, through technical investigations and community consultation. The Queensland government announced the preservation of the corridor in March 2013 and released a report on the community consultation on the proposed corridor.
